From what I could get from your question

1) You want Catalog Task to be created on that date

Example: If date is 10th Jan 2021 so catalog task should be created on that day and your workflow should wait till that time

If yes then you can use Workflow Wait for Timer Activity with Script below

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(current.variables.Scheduled_retrieve_date);

answer = gs.dateDiff(new GlideDateTime(), gdt, true);

Hi,

You should be using Timer Activity with Script and not Wait for Condition.

I already mentioned the Timer Activity in my earlier response
